"Brother Li, are you alright?" Sun Houzi asked with concern. The three genius young masters naturally couldn't chase after Chen Jiu. It would be too embarrassing.
"I'm fine. That damnable bastard, he actually got away." Li Zhongxing's face was filled with resentment. He had already turned into charcoal.
"The monk can run, but the temple can't run. With the Chen family's current situation, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future." Bitch Wang was also very angry.
"But what about the promissory note? If he uses it to pay back the debt, then wouldn't we suffer a huge loss?" The three young masters on the ground hastily clamored.
"A bunch of trash. You can't even do a simple task." Li Zhongxing scolded the three young masters. "Right now, we can only announce that the promissory note is fake. We won't accept it."
"That's right. I think Mu Lan won't accept it either." The other two young masters nodded in agreement.
Chen Estate, Qingxin Residence. Chen Jiu pulled Chen Lan back as quickly as he could. He immediately collapsed from laughter.
"Young Master, are you that happy?" Looking at Chen Jiu who had collapsed to the ground laughing, Chen Lan was puzzled.
"Haha … of course I'm happy. I've finally gotten my revenge on those bastard young masters. Once the Autumn Hunt comes, I'll take their lives one by one." Chen Jiu domineeringly said.
"Young master, if Lanlan's guess is correct, your conflict with Fairy Mu Lan must have something to do with them, right? Just how did you offend Fairy Mu? "Chen Lan asked with concern.
"Uh, this … cough cough …" When this matter was brought up, Chen Jiu immediately coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. He was very helpless.
Could it be that he had to tell her that he had given her little sister something that he usually liked to eat?
"Young master, what's wrong? Don't scare Lanlan. Why do you keep coughing up blood today? "Chen Lan's face was filled with worry as she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood.
"I'm fine. I'm just too happy." Chen Jiu didn't mind. His three spiritual souls and seven physical souls were missing one. If he was resting, then it would be fine. But the more active he was, the more likely it would cause complications.
That night, dark clouds filled the sky and pressed down heavily on the city, oppressing the entire city to the point that it was difficult to breathe.
"Kachacha …" A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. "Splash …" A torrential downpour poured down from the sky, causing the entire city to become one with the sky and the water.
Chen Jiu, who was sleeping, was startled by the sudden rain. He sat up straight, his sleepiness completely gone.
The power of nature was uncanny workmanship. Looking at the huge thunder and lightning in the sky, Chen Jiu felt fear and excitement at the same time.
"If I can borrow the power of the Heavenly Lightning to temper my body, then wouldn't my cultivation level skyrocket? Tomorrow, I won't have to worry about being humiliated by Mu Lan. "Chen Jiu made up his mind as he pondered.
Mu Lan was only asking for money. Their real goal was to punish Chen Jiu. Even if he paid the debt tomorrow, they would still have other ways to punish him. He had to be careful.
He acted immediately. In order to increase his bargaining chip tomorrow, Chen Jiu had to use all his means to increase his strength.
After putting on his clothes, Chen Jiu held up his umbrella and jumped out of the Chen Mansion. Looking up at the dark clouds, he flew towards a mountain outside of Tianlong City.
The loess slope was a strange piece of land. Although there were no stones, it rose up every year. After a long time, it had reached a height of five thousand meters.
Using the Heavenly Lightning to temper one's body was too shocking. Chen Jiu was also worried that if he didn't control it well, the Chen Mansion would be destroyed. Thus, he directly went outside, alone and without any worries.
With the strength of a bull, Chen Jiu braved the rain and wind. His body was incomparably fast. Soon, he arrived at the top of the loess slope.
"Splash …" The heavy rain poured down. The entire top of the loess slope was covered in puddles, forming a vast ocean.
Chen Jiu didn't care about this at all. He sat cross-legged in the puddles and directly activated the Nine-Five Supreme Technique, forming a strong magnetic field around his body.
"Crackle …" Below the thunderclouds, there was a lot of lightning energy. It was actually a type of positive energy, all of which could be converted into Chen Jiu's power.
In the beginning, Chen Jiu didn't dare to summon the lightning to strike him. He was also worried that he would be struck to death in an instant. If that happened, it would really be over.
The strong lightning energy drifted into his magnetic field and was quickly absorbed, turning into his own elemental energy. Chen Jiu felt the sharp increase in his power and couldn't help but be wild with joy.
The loess slope was located at the center of the dark clouds. At a height of five thousand meters, it was almost close to the lower layer of the dark clouds. This was the area where the lightning was the most concentrated. The positive energy flowed like water, which was very suitable for Chen Jiu's cultivation.
"Crackle …" Visible to the naked eye, countless tiny lightning bolts drilled into Chen Jiu's body like bone-devouring worms, making him look like the God of Thunder, with the Thunder Qi soaring to the sky.
Of course, the benefits were obvious. Countless tiny lightning energy flowed into his body. Chen Jiu could feel that the Nine-Five Supreme Elemental Energy in his body, which hadn't been completely solidified, was solidifying at an extremely fast speed.
In less than two hours, he had become a real third-grade warrior. This was something that others would need years of hard work to achieve.
All of the elemental energy in his body had been solidified, and Chen Jiu's combat power had doubled. However, he wasn't arrogant. He knew that he was still no match for Li Zhongxing and the others.
"Crackle —" The dark clouds were furious. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck towards Chen Jiu like a night dragon. He couldn't react in time.
"F * ck!" After cursing, Chen Jiu immediately lost all of his senses. His entire body was completely numb.
If someone else was here, they would have been scared half to death. This was because when this bolt of lightning struck, Chen Jiu's entire body immediately revealed his bones. He trembled uncontrollably, and even his hair exploded. He was almost sublimated.
The lightning came quickly and left even faster. After raging for a while, it disappeared immediately.
On the loess slope, a charred figure was wrapped in a light and shadow magnetic field. After a long time, there was finally some movement. Chen Jiu recovered slightly. Under the heavy rain, the black filth around his body had all disappeared. Instead, he was shining with a gray light. If one looked closely, they would see that he was actually covered in scales.
"F * ck, God, you can't strike me to death." Chen Jiu pointed his middle finger at the sky. He despised it for a while, then continued to cultivate.
This bolt of lightning almost killed Chen Jiu. However, it wasn't without any benefits. His third-grade warrior state had been greatly stabilized. Furthermore, the powerful lightning energy had directly entered his body. As long as he could refine it, he would immediately become a fourth-grade warrior.
"Sizzle …" Chen Jiu didn't dare to be careless. The lightning energy was extremely unstable. He had to convert it into his elemental energy as soon as possible.
Lightning flashed around Chen Jiu's body. Countless tiny lightning bolts were swimming around his body. The aura around him was getting stronger and stronger.
